Ever had a question you wanted to ask? Get an opinion on something?

Well, here's the place to do it! Ask the community pretty much anything.

I have a few community ideas that I'd like to gauge interest in. Don't necessarily want to flood the instance with empty communities. Feel free to pose your own ideas as well. See comments!

LGBT community (/c/lgbt)

A sfw (with nsfw memes allowed but not porn) community for its namesake.

EDIT: I have made it! See: [email protected]. Ping for responding user: @[email protected]

How is this NOT already a thing?

Lol I'm quite surprised there are actually queer people here. I assumed since this is a, well, free speech Lemmy instance, this place would be filled with anti-LGBT people. So I minimized talking about it here.

Like rinkan mentioned, the admins have been pretty outspoken about how being free speech oriented is not the same as being a bunch of assholes. For example, from this featured post:

What Burggit is not We are not another Kiwifarms, Gab or Voat!

While we’re fine with people posting offensive speech and imagery, we won’t allow them to use their right to “Free Speech” as a weapon against the overall health of the platform. Threatening, Berating, Dogpiling, Doxxing and otherwise being complete and total assholes to other users will not be tolerated.

I was going to write up a response, but you touched on everything I wanted to say. Good jorb. :3

The anti-harassment policy probably helps there. Also, exploding-heads having defederated us. The loli protects, apparently.
